This video discusses two state bills, one in West Virginia and a similar one in Kentucky, that aim to allow citizens to purchase machine guns. These bills leverage a perceived loophole in the Hughes Amendment to the Firearm Owners' Protection Act, which bans civilian ownership of machine guns manufactured after May 19, 1986.
